Prophecy is simply hearing what God says & repeating it when He tells us to. Anyone can prophesy & all believers should pursue this free gift.GOD IS NICE; THEREFORE, HE SAYS NICE THINGS.The prophets & prophecies in the Old Testament/Covenant were different than they are under the New Covenant! Under the Old, the issue between God & man had not been resolved & demanded punishment; therefore, the prophecies reflected this conflict.Under the New, the issue between God & man has been resolved because Jesus became our punishment; therefore, prophecies should reflect this new reality of grace.Grace empowers; therefore, prophecy should be EMPOWERING!
